It is with heavy hearts that we inform you of the death of our Trustee, Grant Panel member and friend, Carole Baume. As Vice Chair, Carole was an invaluable contributor to our board, as well as our Community Grants Panel. Carole was loved by all who were lucky enough to cross her path, with a huge smile, kind heart and willingness to help others. She will be greatly missed. Our hearts go out to Carole’s family at this difficult time.

We are saddened to hear about the sudden passing of Amanda Carter Philpott. Amanda has been a valuable member of our Community Grant Panel, as well as giving us plenty of advice around disability issues. Amanda has always been an inspiration and role model for many people across our communities. She has been a great supporter of our International Women’s Day events, giving a very moving speech this year. A wonderful character who will be truly missed by all.
